Can a huntsman spider bite kill a cat?

Hi there,

The bite of Huntsman Spiders is of low risk (only mildly toxic). My cat tends to bring in a lot of them as 'gifts' for me, both alive and dead ones and he has never had any problems with them. Just as a precaution I have asked my vet about it and she let me know that as they have a very low toxicity, the worst thing that can happen if they do happen to get bitten is they may become nauseous in the 24 hours following a bite. However in saying this, huntsman spiders are a non-aggressive group of spiders and even if they were to turn aggressive towards a cat, their skin is thick enough on most areas of their body which would prevent penetration of the Huntsman's fangs.

Hope this helps! I was concerned about this for a while until I asked my vet.

Yes they are. They are not as deadly as red-backs, in fact they are completely harmless to human if you get it treated. You will feel sharp pain if you are bitten by one though.

No huntsman spiders can not kill you. Their bite will hurt and leave a mark in your skin but they have no venom. They won't kill you

All spiders are venomous to some degree. Most are harmless to humans.
